In this work, different advanced oxidative processes were applied (Fenton, electro-Fenton, photoelectro-oxidation and photoelectro-Fenton) employing oxide electrodes to degrade Gramoxone, a commercial herbicide that contains paraquat in its composition. The degradation and formation of by-products were accompanied by high performance liquid chromatography, total organic carbon (TOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The results showed that the photoelectro-Fenton process was the most efficient due to the synergistic effect, reaching 79% degradation of the initial compound and 82% and 71% removal of TOC and COD, respectively. After the application of the electro-Fenton and photoelectro-Fenton oxidation processes, short-chain carboxylic acids such as succinic acid, oxalic acid, acetic acid and formic acid were identified as by-products of the oxidation of Gramoxone. The results were satisfactory and deserve to be highlighted, as a commercial formulation was used, making the scenario more realistic.
